THE FATHERS VERSION.
James Moore, the father of the girl,
is man of 81 years, with full iron
gray beard and hair. He is a csrpen-
ter and builder, and in comfortable
circumstances. He told his story as
follows:
Beulsh is a good girl and perfectly
innocent OF the-euormity of her Of.
tense. For that reason she probably
never thought it worth while to tell
us of Aliens crime. We have tried to
raise her nicely aud never suspicioned
her delicate state until about two
months ago. Then l saw she was rot
rs other girls are, and summoned DE-.
Knox, who verified my worst fears,
but could do nothing to prevent
the consequences. A man of my age
and experience is quick to discover
anything of that kind. Allen was a
vulgar man, given TO the use Of slang,
and that is the reason we asked him
10 quit frequentiDg our house. un
derstaDd he was divorced from his Sc
ond wife, We have known him about
eighteen months. l told Beulah that
il he came about the house for her TO
60 up stairs and
HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM.
He came to our house yester-
dY to bring a Letter from Mrs.
Haynes to my wife, but
Bsulah did not see him. If she
had not killed him | would. Our re-
lstions with the Haynes family were
very pleasant.
During the recital OF his story,
Moore manifested DO concern what
ever over the fearful tragedy, and when
told that Allen was dead took it as q
matter of course. The girl also ap-
peared perfectly unconcerned. She is
a blonde, not very handsome but we'll
developed.
GLAZING INCoNsIsTENCEs.
As will appear from a reading of the
stories of the killing, and after consid-
Grafton of the circumstances, it will
not be difficult matter to determine
who is responsible for the discrepancy.
MIR. Haynes says Allen came to this
city about year ago, and Miss Moore
states that she had known him for
eighteen months. She further stated
that her father accompanied herbe
cause OF her weak, nervous condition,
aud that this was to attend to her if
che fsinted under the excitement.
Eye witnesses say he came up after the
girl had fred with her pistol and
emptied his shotgun. Mrs. HAYNES
testifies that when she arrived Miss
Moore was endeavoring to fire the re-
naming charge from her pistol into
the body of Allen, the girl states that
after shooting four times with the
pistol she fell back upon the gun.
Taken altogether, the stories do not
consist, and the present lights are
against the accuracy OF those of the
prisoners. However, it is a pitiful
situation, and all doubts will, of
course, 90 TO them,

of detail merely to increase the range
of the gun and the quantity of the ex-

avoids the present contest between tor

now employed for using high explosives
is in torpedoes.
"Torpedoes are met with machine
guns and steel netting placed about

it is difficult to say how it can be met.
